Denis Peszka presents a practical guide for improving accessibility in Drupal websites using WCAG 2.1 standards. The article outlines four essential modules—Editoria11y, Node Link Report, Text Resize, and Fluidproject UI Options—each addressing specific accessibility barriers from content validation to visual customisation. The piece includes step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring each tool, making it accessible even for less experienced developers.

Denis stresses the ethical and legal importance of accessibility, citing international standards like Section 508, EN 301 549, and the UK’s Equality Act. He emphasises that digital accessibility benefits all users and opens opportunities for wider audience engagement. The article also shares practical tips for semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, colour contrast, and alt text use.

Testing recommendations include automated tools like WAVE and axe, as well as manual and user testing. The piece closes by urging developers to treat accessibility as a continuous process, not a one-time configuration step.
